Using the same Slot & Lock connector technology and proven 16mm aluminium tubing to form the lightweight yet very capable framework, the pea support frame comes in three raised bed friendly lengths (1.03m, 1.65m and 2.26m) which can be easily placed in 1.2m, 1.8m and 2.4m long wooden raised beds respectively.
For real pea fans there's a 3m long version and although all sizes of frames are fully adjustable, our optimum height recommendation is 1m with the width set at 36cm.
Galvanised steel ground pegs are supplied to hold the frame firmly in position and with a long lasting piece of 80mm mesh knotted net completing - and further strengthening - the frame, you're safe in the knowledge that our Slot & Lock won't rock!

Product Reviews
Fiddly to construct, instructions unclear as to which lengths go where, and nothing is labelled (Fairly sure mine is incorrect!) Arrived in two packages across two different days, and one of them very battered! Despite that, looks like will be a fab product and a definite upgrade from. DIY job
Thank you for your review and sorry to hear that construction proved tricky. Your comments will be passed onto the design team for review. We really appreciate your feedback and hope you get some great harvests this year.
Tired of using sticks and twine this is a brilliant pea support and just fits over my troughs where I grow mangetout and sugarsnap peas. Bit fiddly fitting the net but once done that's it. Looks very neat and tidy.
Our horticulturist Martin Fiddes says; "A reliable pea and bean support frame is a must if you want to grow a decent crop of these staple garden vegetables and that means the netting as well as the framework.
It's usually difficult to reach through to pick pods in the middle of a traditional frame but this netting allows you to do so easily and taking the frame down and storing it - another common problem - is made really simple.
To get the most from your legume crop and the frame, try digging and filling a bean trench with well rotted organic matter a couple of weeks before planting, make sure peas and beans precede brassicas in your crop rotation and sow pea seeds in guttering to boost germination rates (and protect from mice) before sliding out into a planting drill or furrow".

Tried & Tested, Julia Heaton - Sweet pea support
Amateur Gardening 'Best Buy' scoring 18 out of 20 - a well-built frame that, despite its size was surprisingly lightweight and easy to move around. But I don't doubt that any tendril-clinging climbing plant would relish the chance to cover that netting.
